Kosicke has been at Klopp's side for around two decades. He will count as "an external consultant" and will not be a German Football Federation staff (DFB) member.
Klopp said he needed his close confidant because although playing good football is a priority, "we must also change lots of other things. We need people who can do this alongside me."
DFB president Bernd Neuendorf added: "It was quite clear that the two are so closely intertwined that they can only be had as a package."
The Bild newspaper reported that Kosicke would now stop being an agent for other coaches.
